Is there by any chance a simple rule of thumb for calculating the

There may well be charts but I have gone by diameter and thickness as
being the two defining measurements.

Correct, two dimensions and the material are the only parameters. OD
follows from ID and thickness/cross section. The latter is sometimes
called "chord".
